Potassium channel subfamily K member 6 is a protein encoded by the KCNK6 gene in humans. [5] [6] [7] [8]

Contents

This gene encodes K2P6.1, a member of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. K2P6.1, considered an open rectifier, is widely expressed. It is stimulated by arachidonic acid and inhibited by internal acidification and volatile anaesthetics. [8]
